"Hell in a Handbasket" is a term frequently used by conservative "Christians" I know. It is interesting to me because many of them will outright tell you that yes, Mitt Romney is lying, but they are still voting for him. They really do mental gymnastics to explain why they are voting for someone they admit is a liar. Let's be clear on this--these are white people who claim they are Christian and will be voting for a lying Mormon.
That is a double negative if you are a Bible believer. Supporting a liar (not supported Biblically) and supporting a non-Christian against a Christian (not supported Biblically). So, in a sense I agree we are going to "Hell in a Handbasket" because these alleged Republican Conservative "Christian" voters are trying their best to put us there. And they don't have any valid reasons to do so or any Biblical reasons supporting their actions.
But, to them, just as the Pharisees in Jesus day, they are the ones who are supporting and protecting religion. Yes, their religion of wealth and powerful priviledge for white people. Nothing has changed since Jesus' time, except now instead of Pharisee they are called Republican.
